Hmm, I've never felt any "noticeable" positive effect of exercise either.

I didn't exercise basically at all for well over decade. But I felt fine, wasn't overweight or gaining weight or anything like that.

But I decided that I should probably exercise, so have been for awhile now. Fortunately I have what appears to be a very high amount of self control so I'm able to just force myself to go exercise even though I hate every second of it and it just feels like a waste of time.

I haven't noticed any changes to anything that I can think of since going from no exercise to 3-4 days a week of about 1 hour sessions of zone 2+ exercise.

I just keep waiting for this magical benefit that some people talk about, but I get nothing.

I'm only doing it because if I don't, supposedly "bad things" will happen to my body in the future.

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Kernighan's Law

With an LLM it is possible to write code that's too "clever", thus you won't be able to debug it. And in many cases neither can the LLM.
1 in 100k is a stretch. But 1 in 10 maybe? Physically we need water, food, shelter and medical care. Around 10% of US workforce is in agriculture, but a decent chunk of that is probably for providing non-essentials foodstuffs. So maybe only 10% work on actually providing all the essentials for human life.

Capsize is great! It's worth noting that it's not really a "JS hack": it doesn't require you to ship JavaScript to the browser. Capsize is written in JavaScript, but it's just a function that takes information about a specific font and typography information and outputs static styles, meaning you can run Capsize at build time or even just copy the generated CSS straight from their web site.

I agree it's hard to tell whether the controller learned with DrEureka would be sufficient without the leash, but I'm at least convinced that the leash is not sufficient to hold a robot on the ball without a decently competent controller.

Mix data SaaS workloads (Databricks vs. EMR) to save money by using dagster
Did you ever want to find an alternative to cloud data PaaS/SaaS vendor lock-in?
In my blog post, I show how a 0-cost switch between local, Databricks and AWS EMR environments can be achieved to save cost by using dagster. Additionally, software engineering best practices around testability, and producing DRY code are enhanced.

I want to emphasize that I'm not really a luddite here. I pay for ChatGPT (well, Kagi Professional), I use it daily, and I do think it's a very valuable learning tool. I even encouraged my students to use it outside of class if they needed help with any of the theory.

I use ChatGPT all the time for learning new stuff, but a) I already know how to program well enough to teach a class on it, and b) it's a supplement to doing stuff on my own, without AI help. I don't feel I learn that much from just copying and pasting.

Totally agree with your process though; correcting and arguing with ChatGPT is an insanely good way to learn stuff. It's really helped me get better at TLA+ and Isabelle proofs.

When using the standard WASD+mouse arrangement, you don't exactly want to center anything, but rather put the WASD keys at the left hand's natural resting place, and likewise with the mouse and right hand. With many large keyboards, the mouse then ends up colliding with the keyboard, so you have to spread out your arms. With a small keyboard this isn't an issue.

It's worth remebering though that this was Stalin's plan to enlarge the Soviet Union (incidently also approved by the Western powers in the Yalta Agreement) at the cost of German territory. The expulsion of some millions of Poles from the territories of some newly created Soviet republics that now belong to Western Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania is just as well a striking example of campaign of ethnic cleansing against the territories that had major Polish population for centuries. Morover, the Western Poland was subject to Prussian ethnic cleansing policies for more than a century, not to mention the war itself.

Internally vectors (at least float vectors) get converted to float * arrays, where the vectors lengths are manually checked. If you provide a vector in JSON form, then it parses that JSON into a float * array. Vectors must be the same length for distance operations.

Making things easy is a competitive advantage for consumer products, so it’s natural that many companies try to make their products more “intuitive.”

Something else less related that I find really useful about these chatbots is their ability to take some abstract explanation of some problem/attempts to tackle it, and it'll often spit out a name for it, and explain that this sort of problem is already well studied. That can be really difficult with other more traditional tools.

I feel like this could be a big deal in science in general. People of different fields often do unnecessary extra work (as in reinventing the wheel) because they're not aware that there's, say, 10 years of research on it.

You do, but at least repair costs should be low because typically you won't put very many miles on that engine.

Suppose 90% of your miles are electric. After you've put 250K miles (400K km) on the car, you've only got 25K miles (40K km) on the engine. Rarely do you have significant engine trouble at that mileage.

Also, the engine design can probably be simplified if it's just acting as a generator. You don't need a turbo to provide extra bursts of power. Nor things like variable valve timing for good performance across a wide range of RPMs. Maybe you could even use an air-cooled engine like old VW Beetles and Porsches.
China does not produce enough oil to run its current fleet of cars and trucks. They get most of their oil from the Persian Gulf and they correctly worry that that supply line will be pinched (or cut off entirely) if the US gets angry at them (similar to how the US is angry with Russia now) or if some actor like Iran stops the flow of oil out of the Gulf. Most of the oil and oil products China gets from Russia leave Russia on ships from Russia's European ports -- another long supply line.

So for sensible national-security reasons that do not apply to the US (namely, making sure it can continue to transport things like food to all its citizens if its national-security competitor gets angry at it or if the Persian Gulf becomes unstable) China is interested in electrifying its vehicle fleet since China has plenty of coal with which to generate electricity.

Because coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide per unit of heat produced, it might be the an electric car in China will more greenhouse gas than a gas-powered car in the US.
On any given day there will be, at Riot's scale, thousands of people experiencing technical issues.

The one well-known person mentioned in the article matches Riot's explanation at https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1civ4l7/up..., where the issues are self-inflicted by people trying to modify their systems to meet Vanguard's requirements. Vanguard itself isn't the problem.

> About ~0.7% of the playerbase bypassed Microsoft’s enforcement for TPM 2.0 when they installed Windows 11, but the rollout of Vanguard requires that those players now enable it to play the game. This requires a change to a BIOS setting, which differs based on the manufacturer. Vanguard does not and cannot make changes to the BIOS itself.

BIOS settings can be confusing, and we’ve seen two niche cases where it’s created an issue.

The first is that many manufacturers prompt a switch to UEFI mode when TPM 2.0 is enabled, but if the existing Windows 11 installation is on an MBR partition, it would become unbootable afterwards. Some OEMs support LegacyBoot mode with TPM 2.0, but to support UEFI mode, Windows 11 must be installed on a GPT partition. Microsoft has a tool that can help avoid a reformat and reinstall if you’re in this scenario.

The second was a player we spoke to that accidentally also enabled SecureBoot with a highly custom configuration. While Vanguard makes use of the SecureBoot setting on VALORANT, we elected not to use it for League, due to the older hardware that comprises its userbase. Older rigs can have compatibility issues with this setting, and that’s actually one of the primary reasons the Vanguard launch was delayed.

For example, some GPUs are known to have Option ROM that is not UEFI SecureBoot capable (especially older cards), and sometimes this can result from players having flashed it themselves to “unlock” the card. If the Option ROM isn’t signed, enabling SecureBoot would prevent your GPU from rendering anything (since it won’t boot), resulting in a black screen. There would be two ways to fix this: Connect the monitor to an integrated graphics card (if you have one) and then disable SecureBoot in BIOS. Remove your CMOS battery to reset back to default settings.

Vanguard's kernel code never even runs in these scenarios.

It's almost like the voting population consists of people with various different opinions. Personally if I could be assured that a carbon tax would be spent mostly on low-overhead tree/algae farming, and to a lesser extent useful research, I would be ok with it. Otherwise, it's just a cash grab that impoverishes people more for no benefit.

> When I visualize software solutions in my head, not a single bit of code is up there.

If you envision a mechanical solution without anything like a mill or lathe up there, do you consider yourself to be machining?

> Syntax is just a textual representation of concepts.

Mechanical parts are just the metal (or whatever material) representation of concepts. Does programming not refer to processes around taking those concepts and turning them into something 'tangible' of a certain variety?

It seems to me that programming is, in fact, just syntax (within some loose interpretation). As you call attention to, syntax doesn't mean much in a vacuum, but the bigger picture that includes thinking about concepts usually gets the "engineering" moniker.
My open source tool aider [0] has long offered an "AI pair programming" workflow that is similar but not identical to Copilot Workspaces.

Aider is more of a collaborative chat, where you work with the LLM interactively asking for a sequence of changes to your git repo. The changes can be non-trivial, modifying a group of files in a coordinated way.

Workspaces seems more agentic. You need to do a bunch of up-front work to (fully) specify the requirements. Even with a perfectly formulated request, agents often go down wrong paths and waste a lot of time and token costs doing the wrong thing.

That's also not how I code personally. My process is usually more iterative.

Another big difference compared to Workspaces is that aider is primarily a CLI tool. Although I just released an experimental browser UI [1] yesterday, making it more approachable for folks who are not fully comfortable on the command line.

> categorical ≠ silly

In the sentence "See, I can do silly categorical statements too," the adjectives "silly" and "categorical" both modify the noun "statements" and are not themselves related to one another. That's why OP used both of them. If the two words were synonymous, only one would be required.

I was looking at a big tech company recently. They list well over a 100 open positions. I reach out to a friend who works there. He says some very nice things about me to his manager, who asks for my CV. Been six weeks and I haven't heard a word.

If people aren't using the engine to build games for them, they will soon start caring a lot less. It used to be the case that Unity was the default choice for an indie game. Nowadays, it's more like "I will use Unity because there is absolutely no other alternative I can bear", which is a fairly small percentage of the indie games starting development today.

This is a situation where running within the context of the EMR and having access to the existing chart data is likely to make a lot of difference.

I'm ambivalent towards American politics, but that's an argument to be made that voting people (and media) don't think in timescales longer than 5 years, and it will be the humanity downfall if we don't focus on the Earth's long term problems.

Understood, but even if you are trickle feeding thousands of small houses with say 1kw(max) each, that still requires Megawatts of power. 1k*1k=1M. Therefore, you still need high voltage transmission lines to move this power from the source.

Liquid cooled cables aren't too bad.

Megawatt charging system is big but doesn't seem unreasonable, and that gives you 5x the amps. In two minutes it can add 80kWh to an 800 volt battery, and the max voltage is 1250.

Let's unpack it then.

You've stated:

>"Mostly from Australia and Chile" seems like the opposite of baggage, that sounds like about the best you could hope for in a global commodity, so many of which come from unstable regions, conflict regions, or outright adversaries.

So let's break it down with some facts (all easily searchable.)

(1) The graph states that Australia is the largest producer of Lithium, and states that of their exports, 90% goes to China.

(2) Australia exports the majority of its lithium. (https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/insights-australian-exports-...)

(3) Lithium ion batteries are currently reliant on Cobalt for their cathode.

(4) The DRC (Congo) is the largest producer of Cobalt, then Indonesia, then Russia.

>"seems like the opposite of baggage ... unstable regions, conflict regions, or outright adversaries"

From (1) and (2) we can see that the world is dependent on China for the only viable battery option for a range of modern applications. Thus the claim that this isn't baggage is not supported. Secondly China is also considered an adversary of the USA, by the USA. Thirdly the claim that this does not involve unstable/conflict regions is also not supported due to (3) and (4).

Part two: you've also stated the below:

>"Building new Na-ion capacity outside China" is probably even harder than "building new li-ion capacity outside China."

While this is a baseless comment, let's look at it anyway:

(5) The article is specifically about the commencement of mass production of Na batteries in the USA.

That already refutes the core premise of your statement, but let's follow it further.

(6) The article notes that unlike Li batteries, the materials are trivially sourced domestically.

That's an important difference from Li batteries, and significantly boosts the viability of competitive production in the USA (and other countries outside of China).
